The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for La Caleta over the next 16 days.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s not a single good surf window in this whole stretch. La Caleta is a consistent reef break that usually loves a good NNW swell, but the wind is just wrecking everything. From Friday 17 July right through to Saturday 1 August, every single session is plagued by onshore wind – either from the NNE or N – blowing at 12 to 28 mph. That’s a fresh to strong breeze, and it’s hammering the surface. The swell is running from 6 ft up to 12 ft, with periods mostly short (7–9 seconds), but when you’ve got that wind direction, it’s just messy chop. No matter how much energy is in the water – and there’s some decent push, with combined energy ranging from 295 up to 2124, so moderate to very strong – the wind kills it. Every single row says “poor surf conditions.” So there’s zero score.
The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (about 3° above average), so if you’re just swimming, it’s nice. But for surfing? Not happening. The whole 16-day forecast is a blank run. That’s not unusual for this area when the trades lock in. Sometimes it’s just a waiting game – forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t bother paddling out. If you’re into kite surfing, the strong onshore winds and solid swell could be interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, stay dry.

Information about the La Caleta Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Caleta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Caleta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Caleta surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (La Caleta) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for La Caleta may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
La Caleta is 8 km (5 miles) from Teguise. If you plan a holiday in Lanzarote, look for hotels and other accommodation in Teguise. Teguise has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
